Biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment.
-Abiotic factors-
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...
-Biotic factors-
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...
The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.
The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.
Hope it helps you !
I suppose it false, since the oxidation involves the loss or removal of the electrons such forth it does not gain electrons.
Answer:
A Walk in the City
Make a list of the number of cars, jeeps, tricycle, and even trucks you've seen on your way to school. On a Decision Making Chart, answer the question, "Does the volume of traffic affect the air quality in my local community?" Write your reasons for saying YES on the Reasons for column, and the reasons for saying NO on the Reasons Against column. At the bottom of a chart, make a position by writing your decision on the same question.

Answer:
d. its effective nuclear charge is lower than the other noble gases.
Explanation:
Xenon belongs to group O on the periodic table. Most of the elements here are unreactive.
Due to the large size of Xenon, the outermost electrons have very low effective nuclear charge. Effective nuclear charge is the effect of the positive charges of the nucleus on the electrons in orbits. This effect decreases outward as atomic shell increases.
Xenon has a very large atomic radius and there is weak a nuclear charge on the outermost electrons. The more electronegative elements would be able to attract some of its outermost electrons easily and form chemical bonds with xenon much more readily.
